I'm likeing Super Paper Mario a lot better because it's not about taking turns hitting each other. Your skill is not determained by the roll of a dice.

Make Pokemon more like that and i'll give it a try again.

That is one reason why Mario and Luigi is such a unique series, it has RPG style battles, but your damage is all dependent on your skill. If you get good enough you can almost avoid any damage.

Err... nobody too familiar with the battle system on Thousand Year Door, then? I was blocking those attacks like crazy. Its a great system where your skill and timing is a part, deciding how powerful your attack is and if you block or even deflect your opponent's attack.

Exactly. PAPerMario:TTYD had plenty of skill in the battle system. IN some battles you needed to get that extra damage by hitting the button at the right time or you were a goner.

If you can't request a pokemon online until you've seen it, does that mean trades for pokemon you can't ever see in your version can only be done locally?

Well, you'll see almost every pokemon if you're diligent enough. But for the unobtainables like old legendaries and starters, you can't be given then randomly, no. You'll have to have them come over from old games, or have them be traded to you by someone specific. If it's a friend you exchange codes with, you can trade anything, seen or unseen. Doesn't have to be locally.

PartyBear. I'm still trying to figure out if battling someone online (or quasi online in the Battle Tower) will add that pokemon to your pokedex or not.

Sentimental reasons. He was one of my original kick butt pokemon back in the original Blue. Though later he got axed somehow and then came back.

PS: I'm going to have all three legendary birds from Red/Blue ready to trade soon. I'm looking for other legendaries that were obtained legitimately. Namely Entei, Suicune, Groudon, Celebi, or Deoxys.

Whether to take my teams from Ruby and Leaf Green, to make THE BEST TEAM EVER, or keep those games intact. Really, I don't know. :/

Yes, this would be my first Pokemon entry, but I'll likely be interested in getting at least the 3 starters from the GBA series.

The only thing you have to beat the game for is to actually transfer stuff. Here are a bunch of interesting links...

Pokemon that MUST be transferred from an old game or traded with someone who transfered from an old game
Version exclusive Pokemon
A super pokedex that will tell you how to get any pokemon in the game

Thanks, your prior posts and these links spell things out nicely.

All I want is a Charmander, I just have no idea how to easily get one yet.

Nephilim · « **Reply #35 on:** April 24, 2007, 01:37:47 AM »

I would give the game a 8

cave's have no puzzles, just turns the game into a grind fest
why are gyms and mini games the only puzzles in the game?

Pale · « **Reply #36 on:** April 24, 2007, 02:33:55 AM »

I have to say, the Global trade center is awesome. I already have the other two diamond and pearl starters. Also, Eggs are really cool as the Pokemon stores it's birth day. I have a chimchar from Japan that hatched on Valentines day!

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #37 on:** April 24, 2007, 10:38:46 PM »

Pale do you know if a Europe/ Aussie GBA game can transfer R/S/E/FR/LG Pokemon to a US Diamond and Pearl cart?

Pale · « **Reply #38 on:** April 25, 2007, 01:37:02 AM »

BFS, I'm 90% sure that the can't. GBA game compatibility is limited to GBA games of the same region.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #39 on:** April 25, 2007, 11:57:10 AM »

Yes it is. But to get around that you can trade between the other region's GBA game to the region of the game you want to trade to. I have been doing that to get my English GBA pokemon to my Japanese version to put them into my English Pearl game so I can play through with other pokemon.

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #40 on:** April 25, 2007, 10:17:16 PM »

Thanks for the replies guys. I just checked my GBA carts and I happen to have a US Emerald so all's good!

Pale · « **Reply #41 on:** April 26, 2007, 02:36:21 AM »

This just in! Apparently the gba games don't have to be the same region as the DS games.. just the same language...

Color me confused. So apparently UK/Aussie GBA games will working with NA DS games.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #42 on:** April 26, 2007, 08:17:44 AM »

I enjoy the game, but honestly it doesn't seem that much different then Blue and Red for GB! Kind of sad that after all these years the improvements to the series is almost pathetically minimal when it comes to the main quest.

Shecky · « **Reply #43 on:** April 26, 2007, 02:35:56 PM »

The GTS is indeed cool, I got my ONIX after only a day. Got a JAP name though... any way to change a pokemon's name? Signs on the net say no, but that seems like a huge loophole in the protective online environment. Picture a kid asking what <foul word> means cause it's the name of his new pokemon he just traded for...

I figured Nintendo would scrub names to defaults of trades on the GTS, but the ONIX looks to have both an original name and owner name (both JAP). Unless they're scrubbing them with canned names... you would have no way of telling.

I might take you up on that, at least for a Charmander anyways... I think I still need to beat the game before you could trade me one though, or would it just not show up in the p-dex? Interesting experiment is to try it and see what happens... if you have one to spare, pm me.

Klapaucius · « **Reply #45 on:** May 19, 2007, 03:26:55 AM »

Any news on when the European release will be, yet? :/

2009

ok this is getting annoying.

what you have done by making that post(and many like it) in a topic that has been dead for months if not years is a frowned upon practice generally called forum necromancy, I however prefer to use the term "zombie thread"

seriously when the forum says that little thing about the thread having not been posted in for over 120 days, the general idea is don't post in it unless you have something actually worthy of discussion to offer.

Basically...

And guess what pokepal? You now know what the rest of us felt like when you first joined.
